The time period is directly proportional to the square root of length of the pendulum and inversely proportional to the square root of acceleration due to gravity.

What are the factors on which the time period of simple pendulum depends?
The length of the pendulum, and the acceleration due to gravity. Despite what many people believe, the mass has nothing to do with the period of a pendulum.
What is the pendulum used for?
the pendulum is used to tell time
What are the factors affecting the time period of a simple pendulum?
Friction is just resistance to movement due to sliding surfaces or to air flow. For a pendulum it will be due to two things: one the resistance in its support bearing, the other to the air resistance of the pendulum itself. Thus energy is gradually lost and the pendulum will eventually come to rest unless it gets a little kick as required, this is supplied in an old clockwork mechanism by the spring which you wind up every week or whatever.
A simple pendulum is hung in a stationary lift and its periodic time is T. what will be the effect on its periodic time T if the lift goes up with uniform velocity v?
Nothing (ignoring effects due to height). If the elevator is moving at a uniform velocity, relativity says the velocity doesn't matter.
Why does a pendulum lose time in summer and gain in winter?
Time period of pendulum is, T= 2π*SQRT(L/g) In summer due to high temperature value of 'l' increases which increases the time period of pendulum clock. Hence, pendulum clock loses time in summer. In winter due to low temperature value of 'l' decreases which decreases the time period of pendulum clock. Hence, pendulum clock gains time in winter.
What is the periodic time of a 0.5m pendulum on the moon?
note: (g(moon)= 1/6g(earth))
To determine the valu of 'g' by kater's reversible pendulum?
g = (4(Pi)2*l)/t2where l, is the pendulum length and t,is the periodic time.

Why time period of pendulum depends on length not other factors?
It does depend on the force of gravity where the pendulum is located. There are other factors that it depends on but their contribution, in normal circumstances, is negligible enough to ignore.
Why time periods is equal of pendulum?
A simple pendulum, ideally consists of a large mass suspended from a fixed point by an inelastic light string. These ensure that the length of the pendulum from the point of suspension to its centre of mass is constant. If the pendulum is given a small initial displacement, it undergoes simple harmonic motion (SHM). Such motion is periodic, that is, the time period for oscillations are the same.
What are the factors on which the time period of simple pendulum does not depend?
The time of a period doesn't depend on the mass of the Bob(that'll be a mass spring system) It also doesn't depend on Friction..

How does the length of the pendulum effect the pendulum?
The longer the length of the pendulum, the longer the time taken for the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation.
If pendulum is made to swing in water compare the time taken for this pendulum to come to a complete stop with the time taken by a pendulum swinging in air?
The pendulum will take more time in air to stop completely in comparision with water
